The practice exam is based on the same reference materials used in the actual Minnesota Residential Roofer license exam:

1. Minnesota State Residential Code, 2020 edition – Available on Amazon
2. DLI Reference Manual for Residential Building Contractor and Remodeler License Exam – Official PDF Download

One of the most valuable skills the practice exam helps develop is the ability to quickly navigate these reference materials. Since the actual DLI exam is open book, becoming familiar with these resources is critical to your success.

Understanding who can serve as a qualifying person is essential for contractors. According to Minnesota Statute 326B.805, subdivision 4:

• For individual proprietorships: Must be the proprietor or a managing employee
• For partnerships: Must be a partner or a managing employee
• For LLCs: Must be a chief manager or managing employee
• For corporations: Must be a chief executive officer or managing employee

A qualifying person must be actively engaged in the business on behalf of the licensee and cannot be an independent contractor. This individual is responsible for completing 14 hours of approved continuing education every two years to renew the company’s license.

While open-book exams allow reference materials, they require efficient navigation of the books within a limited time. This is why practice tests are invaluable—they help you familiarize yourself with code layout, rules, and procedures outlined in the provided books.
